exclusive, long-distance rail tours, is scheduled to run new rounds of its
services that offers extensive excursions throughout Iran.

Passengers from several countries including the UK, Spain, the U.S.,
Australia, Canada, and South Africa will aboard the opening southbound train
that is scheduled to depart from Moscow on November 10th, IRNA reported on
November 3.

Of an 18th-day itinerary titled "Persian Odyssey" the train will stop at various
spots in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan before it enters the
northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad early on the 11th day of its journey.

The final Persian Odyssey, which will be a northbound service, is slated to
